Compare and contrast weight and mass?

Mass is the an object's resistance to a change in inertia. This is why, and I have no personal experience with this, large objects in space or the free fall of orbit are hard to move. Weight is the measured mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. 1 Newton = 1 Kilogram * 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity


Can food be a topic for comparing and contrasting?

Yes. For example: compare and contrast the flavors of yellow, green and red peppers; compare and contrast raw vs. cooked weight of ground beef of different fat contents; compare and contrast prices of milk of different fat contents.


How do we use weight?

Usually we do not. We use mass, but wrongly call it weight. You compare the masses of people, you buy fruit and vegetables, or meat by their weight and not mass, etc.


How does a spring balance measure the mass of an object?

A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.

Why is your weight on earth different from out mass on the moon?

You can't compare WEIGHT with MASS - those two are used to measure quite different things. It doesn't make sense to say that they are the same, or that they are different. You can only compare mass with mass, or weight with weight.


Is mass directly propertional to weight?

Yes. Weight is equal to mass times gravity, so if you keep gravity constant (for example, measure different masses on planet Earth), weight is indeed proportional to mass. But if you compare measures with different gravity, you see that weight not only depends on the mass.
